Resources Written on February 28, 2010, by eheath.
This is a list of websites and books that we have utilized and studied over the years. I will add to this list as I read more..
Websites
Arbinger Institute
http://www.arbinger.com/en/home.html
The Arbinger Institute’s insights into human relationships are deeply profound and life changing. They are insights into how we make choices and how those choices affect every part of our life. Particularly, watch out for the term “Self-Deception”. Applying this knowledge can bring immediate, positive change in your life. We have especially loved their books, Leadership and Self Deception, Bonds that Make Us Free and The Anatomy of Peace.
Stephen R Covey
Of course Covey is best known for his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, yet we found First Things First to be equally life-changing. If you have not had a chance to hear him, you might want to check out one of his audio books.

Excerpt from their website:
The Great Life Foundation is an educational training company whose purpose is to provide experiential trainings that will assist you in taking on your life and assist you in coming to the knowledge of who you truly are. By creating a safe environment, you learn how to have your life work on new levels you never thought possible. We are not a religion or political organization and do not seek endorsements from religions or organizations. Our training is designed for people committed to having their lives work better.
Dave Ramsey
Do you have debt? Dave Ramsey’s no-nonsense approach to debt elimination is one of the most simple and effective methods we have seen.
Smart Cents
This is the resource we refer to in the first paragraph on the Marriage & Money page. Janine Bolon’s book (she also does a seminar) Money It’s Not Just For Rich People was the key to our finally getting our finances in order. Janine’s website is a wealth of information.
Identity Theft and Legal Protection
http://www.prepaidlegal.com/hub/ericwheath
In today’s economy we have found two resources that keep our family safe and give us peace of mind. Studies show that 1 in 4 people will have their identity stolen this year. Also in today’s world, access to the legal system has become as important as car and health insurance. After a lot of research we have chosen to use Pre-Paid Legal Services for our identity theft protection, and legal coverage. They can also help you get your will in order, for the added assurance that gives.
LDS Family Services – Addiction Recovery Program
